Ban the Bottle Ban the Box Update

Water Bottle Update


Our Eco-Squad has been hard at work these days.

BAN THE BOTTLE AND BAN THE BOX  has been very successful. We started out with buying 150 stainless steel water bottles and we wanted to get them into the classrooms. By doing this we were hoping that students would stop bringing in disposable drink containers.

We were a little worried that we would not sell all of the water bottles but we did. There were some disappointed students so we placed another order of 120 water bottles.

Know what ........ it is working. We competed a waste audit before we sold the water bottles and then did another one after the water bottles were in circulation. We went from 4 bags of recycling a day to 2. We could hardly believe it!

To date we have sold 177 water bottles with more being sold each day. We are very excited that we have done something and that we can see the results right away.
